Police men & women are not from Mars! They are not aliens! These are people with parents, husband & wives and children! They also need to be able to go home, safe & sound, to their families! Yes, they code a tough career, but without them, he an help us!!!! These tattooed, flabby-belly folk throwing bricks at them, are these the folk to keep law & order??
There is nothing wrong with protesting. But it cannot be acceptable for these gatherings to become intimidation or assault of the police!
This notion that once you gather a few hundred people and grab a megaphone, you become ‘the people’ and yours become the only opinion that the government must listen to, is ridiculous and must be addressed robustly and speedily!
The concept of ‘we the people’ is exercised via casting one’s vote. If we are not happy with what the elected government is doing, exercise that dissatisfaction at the next election!
To think gathering for a protest means the government must do exactly what one group is asking for, is absurd. Unfortunately, it has become the order of the day!
There is nothing wrong with people gathering to make their feelings known, but to turn it into a violent or intimidating exercise, cannot be normalised. The government must make this clear. All protests must be peaceful and no groups should feel intimidated
